In 2019/2020, asked in a survey how frequently they cook with leftovers, roughly 11 percent of divorced respondents stated that they do so once a month. The share of those who said they did so once a week was highest among widowed respondents and came to 20 percent, although the same number in this age group said they never cook with leftovers.
* The original survey question was phrased as follows: "Thinking about cooking and eating, how often do you do the following? --- Cook with leftovers."
